portable hut cover question

[Cosmos]

Hi guys,

 

I recently picked up a descent Clam Kenai portable from kijiji. Hut is awesome, but it came with no cover. I checked price for new one and was really surprised - it's between $50 and $60. In my opinion is too expensive. I would like to know if anybody is using any alternative covers. I checked ebay, but didn't find anything. I will pull hut myself, so my friend said you don't need one, but I don't like that idea. I was trying to buy used one, but nobody has it.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

I forked out the $$$$ for the proper cover for my Frabill.

It is worth the $$$$.

The Hyfax kits however are not.

If you need runners go and buy some 3/4" UHMW and make your own.

They will last a lot longer.

Just buy the cover, the alternatives will be ill fitting and nowhere as effective!

I blew out my cover on a rough ride on Joseph and was faced with replacing it. #1 the price of the Clam product was high plus #2 no one had any in stock. I was in SAIL and was walking by the Normark ice fishing hut and noticed one of there 2 man was laid out exactly like my Clam Nanook. Took a chance and bought the Normark and it fit like a glove. Normark sells a single Cruzer hut 60"x45" so check your dimensions and maybe it'll do at much lower price

 

I made a cover for my single Frabill and it was way too much work for what they are worth and still doesn't fit that good
